You can't access NAND

What skin did you try to install? What steps, in detail did you follow?

Do you, by any chance have a NAND locking app installed?

I forget what it's called, but it basically stops things from being written to the NAND, which is where the changed images need to be stored.

 

[sliteist]

ere i wouldent know.... but how would i remove that? this sounds pritty hopfull
you are being verry helpfull thanks man

I have this same problem, just tried doing it today and it does not want to work. Screen goes black and after that the default skin appears instead of the replacement one i have tried with aurora theme and aurora base skin.

 

[greenpix]

try Skin2x And make sure that your NAND is unlocked. That always worked for me. (At least I can surely say so for the Gorillaz Skin)

 

[sliteist]

how do i make shore my NAND is unlocked.....

 

[greenpix]

erm...well how about using the NAND-Unlocker?Just one out of many ways for sure...

 

[Trashman]

which firmware are you using? if you're using 1.2.1, then get this:
http://www.gp2x.de/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi?0,0,0,0,42,1148
and unpack it, there is an unlocking app in there.

 

[sliteist]

hello????????????????

 

[nickspoon]
